Pages
The XM Cloud page builder combines editing and design capabilities for building web pages. With the page builder, you can create any number of webpages, in any language, and publish any versions of the pages composing your website at any time of your choosing.
In addition, the page builder offers personalization and analytics features, so you can display different content to different audience, and assess how these changes affect your wesbite performance.

-
Open XM Cloud for the relevant environment and on the navigation header, click Page builder.
-
On the global toolbar, select the site you want to work on.
-
On the Editor tab, in the left-hand side pane, open the Site tree tab.

Assign content to component when needed. The content can already exist as content items in your site, as item in your media library, or you can create new content.

Configure components using the settings available in the right-hand pane. Sitecore components settings are described in the Components builder's documentation, while configuration settings for components saved in the Content Editor are available here.

If available, chose a theme from the Styles library.

When the page is ready, publish.

page templates and page designs in the pages editor Templates mode
